Confederatio & Related Token Values

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Confederatio & Related Tokens (1785–1786) series of Colonial & Post-Colonial Issues in the U.S. Coins contains 14 distinct entries with CPG® values between $12,000.00 and $186,000.00.

The Confederatio and associated coppers have patriotic motifs and were made in small quantities for circulation. The 1785, Inimica Tyrannis America, variety may owe its design to a sketch by Thomas Jefferson. In all, 12 dies were presumed struck in 13 combinations. No one knows for certain who made these pieces. The combination with a standard reverse die for a 1786 New Jersey copper is especially puzzling.
